Healthy bars made without flour and oil with an exceptional tahini and cinnamon flavour are a great snack.
If you haven’t tried the tahini and cinnamon combination yet, you should definitely try these bars and you will be amazed by the harmony of flavours! We simply adore this combination and use it for cookies, as a spread on bread, in oatmeal … We discovered it during our trip around Cyprus, where we tried their traditional tahini pie with cinnamon, which really impressed us, so we indulged in it every day. Since then, this combination has been one of our favorites and is a constant in our dishes, we also want to try recreate the pie that we ate in Cyprus.
Delicious tahini-cinnamon bars are very soft and juicy and have some nice crunchy chocolate with tahini on top for the perfect taste. You can enjoy bars without any guilt, as they are very healthy and do not contain flour, oil and refined sugar, the main ingredient is oatmeal, which can be easily replaced with gluten-free if you do not enjoy gluten .
